Suppose you’re imagining that it’s raining hard. You then proceed to imagine, as part of the same imaginative project, you believe it isn’t raining. Such an project is possible if two imaginings arise in succession. But what about simultaneously and raining? I will argue that, under certain conditions, such impossible. After discussing these suggest explanation this impossibility. Elaborating o...

Among all of the slope stability methods, use of stone columns and geosynthetic elements can be a good way for stabilizing. One of the efficient ways in order to reinforce earth slopes is Geogrid Encased Stone Column (GESC). This technique can dramatically increase bearing capacity and decrease settlement rate. The aim of this paper is experimentally to investigate a comparison between the beha...

Then I am justified in believing the first conjunct. So by (EP) I am justified in believing that I believe that p. But since I am also justified in believing the second conjunct, I am justified in believing that I do not believe that p. I claimed that this is impossible, because anything that justifies me in believing that something is the case renders me unjustified in believing that it is not...

A modular rainfall retrieval called Advective-Convective-Technique (ACT) was developed at the LCRS that is based on data from geostationary sensors in the water vapour and infrared channel. Extended regions of stratiform precipitation in the vicinity of convective cores are identified by a kmeans cluster analysis and rainrates are assigned using a 3-D cloud model. During daytime an extended ide...

Severe weather conditions such as rain and snow adversely affect the visual quality of images captured under such conditions thus rendering them useless for further usage and sharing. In addition, such degraded images drastically affect performance of vision systems. Hence, it is important to solve the problem of single image de-raining/de-snowing. However, this is a difficult problem to solve ...

A new method for the delineation of precipitation during daytime using multispectral satellite data is proposed. The approach is not only applicable to the detection of mainly convective precipitation by means of the commonly used relation between infrared cloud top temperature and rainfall probability but enables also the detection of stratiform precipitation (e.g. in connection with mid-latit...
